If you are using an OpenVPN configuration, try to set reneg-sec 0

"The solution is to ...set it to 0 on one side of the connection (to disable)"

It appears that Mac OS does not handle auto reconnect. Maybe the following will help.

How to Connect Your Mac to Any VPN (and Automatically Reconnect)

Macs have built-in support for connecting to the most common types of VPNs.

If it's exactly an hour, it may be that the VPN you're connecting to has a cutoff and disconnects users after that long.

Use the VPN client from your VPN provider or get OpenVPN configuration files and use them with https://tunnelblick.net
The native VPN on macOS is a joke, there are almost no options to configure and the server can ignore them anyway.
